Yea I know, it`s lame, but I`ve been enslaved by Archaeoptyrex so it looks like I`ll be sitting this one out. Shame too considering I`m the 3rd richest empire sitting pretty at 1.2 billion cash. =/
lmao!!!! As food producing player on 3 server, i don`t even consider raw material an income source anymore. Posting RM is a waste of keystrokes in my opinion not unlike buying a lottery ticket or completing online surveys that get you into "online contests". =/
well, in this case, it wasn`t BTCs that were the problem, it was cash. Arch wouldn`t have been able to rebuild. And I know he had far less than a billion to work with. =/
But it`s all in the past now, and with the minerals in scarce supply again I`ll actually make back my cash pretty quickly before this 3 UW spree. You`ll see me in the top ranks again soon now that i actually have a market to sell to again. =P
Ye, you owe infernal big time for preventing my hit on ya....tho i originally meant to build 1300 argonite to hit you with i didn`t want to build it all at once for fear of going into debt. So i built in stages of 400, and found out that i ran out of composite and got hit 5 seconds later. So, poor planning on my part too. =/
Actually you didn`t even get half of what I had left, arch, heh. I think I had 75 left at the end. Maybe 72? Dunno. Had a couple.
And yes, that is kind of the point... going boom boom multiple in a row.
As for your ability to stop us... really? None of the defense action has gone boom, most of our most powerful empires remain and our time cap stock is barely affected, except by the absence of all my STCs. ^^; But, I mean, if you really think I`m wrong, cool.
Deiloche used his remainder of STC on me shortly before he blew ... so no waste there.
I personally only had, and used 1BTC and 5STC, I had a total of (I think) 5/6BTC and maybe 10STC used on me (of which 2 BTC were sadly wasted ... I ended up at 350 ish turns ... was expecting to need to build). And of course there were the 2 free ones from completing loktar, which I duly used.
So not much damage to our stocks, frankly. And y, there was no point to delay. In fact the stock we used has been made up through the UW reward :)
Archaeoptyrex, how many btc did you use to pull it off? And I believe that the main reason your uw was succesful is that we had very little resources, both money and minerals and turns. If you had waited 2 or 3 weeks you might not have pulled it of, or at least we would had made your try more chalenging
Some very nice enslavements too on your build up. Kept several of us out of the fight. Perhaps the rest of the server can prevent any further M|K attempts, especially since 3 empires have now been reset.
Alright, 20 minutes before I can click the Big Red Button. I think I`m safe now!
So this was a quiet UW, a large part due to excellent support by fed mates:
For most time spent online with me: Plunderer -- excellent moral support to keep enemies thinking twice about building, also some nice hits on the limited attack.
Udale too for the numerous hours of clicking refresh on ranks
Infernal for providing artifacts, and awesomeness during my US zzzzzz-time. Ragnarok already commented on this earlier!
Loof for providing the nice scary green-active-button next to his name during the last half. Helped me pass the time as we played some bridge online too! -- whilst clicking refresh of course.
Other members of MK who nicely checked in during US quiet-hours (Omegian, Travvivian, Africa)
Of course Deiloche and DM, although their role was their legacy from the previous 2 UW`s.
Only one attacker did any notable damage: Terminus ... nice hit with 1212 galleons (yup they did hurt)
I have to comment now that ryu-jins against scorps ... well I can take any help I can get :)
So everyone now has at least a 72 hour breather? :)
